My place is close to the town centre and train and bus stations are also easily accessed by foot.
You’ll love my place because of the beautiful countryside perfect for hill walking in the Brecon Beacons. Abergavenny is a vibrant market town with many independent shops. The Food Festival in September is a must for all foodies.

Lovely room, very clean. Superb fresh, high quality continental breakfast. Great location close to town and some superb walking

Extremely hospitable, wonderful breakfast, clean as a whistle and very comfortable; Edith was the perfect balance of friendly yet discreet. Would most definitely recommend and stay again.

Elise2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Nice en-suite bedroom close to city center and all the shops/pubs/restaurants. Edith is extremely hospitable. The breakfast is delicious and you can park your car in the courtyard. Perfect !

Philippe2017-07-29T00:00:00Z

What a wonderful couple in a lovely home. On our first night we were running incredibly late due to a huge crash on the M5, but the hosts were very understanding. The next morning (and the following mornings), we were greeted by the best breakfast we have ever had at an Airbnb property. Its easy to say that we definitely felt at home here. The property is within a 5 minute walk to the centre but is just far enough to be nice and quiet. A great experience for us. Many thanks.

Ben2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Very welcoming, comfy bed and cosy room. Very cleaned and well maintained room and on-suite. Breakfast was lovely, such a wide selection.

Edith was very welcoming on our arrival and made us a much needed cup of tea while we brought our bags in. The room was perfect; clean, comfortable and exactly as described. We had a great night's sleep and the shower (which was excellent) prepared us for the day. Waiting downstairs was a delicious breakfast Edith had laid out for us. It really was fantastic and we couldn't be more grateful for it. We only stayed for one night but we couldn't recommend this listing more. It prepared us for a wonderful weekend at the Green Man festival in the beautiful Brecon Beacons. Thank you very much Edith!

Jack2016-08-20T00:00:00Z

Edith was a great host, she was in contact before we stayed to arrange things and we had a lovely stay. She was very accommodating to our requirements and we felt very welcome there.

The house is lovely, Abergavenny is lovely, we really enjoyed our time there. Joe was very accommodating and let us check out late and also was very quick to reply to messages.

Sophie2017-06-04T00:00:00Z

Fantastic little gem in the heart of Abergavenny. Bedroom was spacious, and had a delightful rustic charm. The house is well appointed and comfortable, and within 5 minutes walk of virtually everything in Abergavenny. Joe is an excellent host whose friendly and open attitude will make guests feel welcome from the get-go. He will happily indulge in some conversation, and, time willing, perhaps share a pint. Couldn't recommend more!

Dmitriy2017-08-06T00:00:00Z

Spacious two bedroom house with a log burning fire. My friends and I stayed for New Years eve. Joe left us just enough wood to get the fire going which gave the house a lovely comfortable atmosphere. The kitchen was fully equipped for us to bring food and cook dinner. But we were very disappointed that the linen wasn't clean as we found used tissues under the pillow and lots of hair. However he did leave us clean towels to use. Great location as on the edge of the Breacons.

Rebecca2017-01-01T00:00:00Z

A very well situated cottage, with comfortable bedrooms. The house is warm and snug, and Joe is a friendly and communicative host. However, the property could really do with some TLC.

Nick2016-12-30T00:00:00Z

Joe is a great host. The house and many pieces of furniture inside are special and give it a really cool touch. Joe has been helpful to provide hints and tips for pubs and walks. The neighborhood is really nice and the town is a good base for walks in the Brecon Beacons. Highly recommenced!

The Old Dairy has its name from previously being a dairy barn. It has now been converted into a beautiful living space. Guests at the Old Dairy will experience the quiet country life with mountain views, whilst being a short 10 minute walk from the bustling market town of Abergavenny.

Ideal for couples and families, the barn comfortably holds 6 guests with two bedrooms and a sofa bed in the living room. A cot can also be provided if requested. The barn boasts beautiful wooden beams and high ceilings for that extra space feel. There is a large country style kitchen kitted out with a rangemaster, a built in coffee machine, plate warmer, American fridge/freezer complete with a multi-setting ice machine and plenty of dinnerware. The main bathroom is newly renovated to a high spec and the stand-alone bath in the en suite is a perfect bonus after a long day exploring.

I hesitate to write a glowing report because if I do, The Dairy might not be available when we want to return! The accommodation is wonderful and Lesley has many personal touches including a jug filled with fresh flowers on arrival. The location allows for a 10 minute walk to The Lamb & Flag (great food and drink), a 20 minute walk into the centre of Abergavenny, and we even walked to the top of Sugar Loaf Mountain from the cottage - about 4.5 hours in total. Highly recommended!

A warm welcome to 3 big rooms (sitting room, bathroom & bedroom) for your own use. Ensuite has bath & separate shower. It's great for families or two friends with an extra single put-up bed in the large double room.
Cooked breakfast served in a sitting room with doors to the terrace & views of Welsh hills.
Our pleasant home is 12min walk to the centre of the historic market town of Abergavenny. It's a great place for a walking, cycling, castle or food holiday. Private parking in our driveway.

Enjoy the sunny terrace, eat a yummy cooked breakfast, relax in the sitting room and sleep comfortably in our home! It is Wales, so we cannot guarantee the sun and sometimes our views of the hills are shrouded in cloud, but there is always the pleasant sitting room where you can unwind.
Second bed: Our home is perfect for families as there is plenty of space with three large rooms (bedroom, ensuite bathroom and sitting room) for your sole use. There is a single bed available that we put up in the bedroom when needed. This bed is 5ft10 / 177cm long and so slightly smaller than a standard single. The bed works well for a child or a small-to-medium height adult. The single bed does not live in the bedroom but it always put up when a third guest is booked. If two guests are staying and they would like the use of the single bed in addition to the double bed, please let us know you would like this in advance. There is also a cot available that you can use, although please tell us in advance. The bedroom is above the sitting room, and so is ideal if your child has gone to sleep, and you want to relax downstairs on the sofas.
Bedroom: The standard set up of our large and light bedroom is with the comfortable double bed alone. There are bedside tables, a wardrobe and a dressing table. The bedroom has tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities. There is a small fridge. Wifi is also available.
Bathroom: The ensuite bathroom is spacious and has both a bath and separate electric shower. Hot water is always available. The bathroom is equipped with bubble bath, shower gel, shampoo and conditioner. Freshly washed towels are provided.
Private sitting room: There are comfortable sofas, a dining table, and a full bookcase in a very large sitting room. This is where a cooked breakfast is served. There is a lovely view of the Blorenge mountain. There are doors that open onto the terrace.

Our modern detached house is ideally located for Abergavenny and the Brecon Beacons. Our comfortable home is 12 mins walk (through Bailey Park) to the centre of the historic market town of Abergavenny.
Abergavenny hosts a variety of events (often in Bailey Park) throughout the year – Food festivals, Cycling races, Steam rally and Shire horse show etc. There is always plenty to do with different markets on several days. Abergavenny is an attractive town and with the Castle and museum, plenty of interesting shops, Sugarloaf vineyards and Linda Vista Gardens, there is always plenty to do.
The three local mountains of Sugarloaf, Skirrid and the Blorenge surround the town. Abergavenny is a 'Walkers are welcome' town and is a perfect base for exploring further afield in the Brecon Beacons and Black Mountains. The Brecon canal is great for cycling and walking. There are many castles to explore in the area - Abergavenny, Raglan (the most spectacular), White, Grosmont, Skenfrith, Treetower (Manor house and small castle) and Crickhowell - and several more castles are located within a one hour drive.
There are a wide choice of places to eat with plenty in the town - including the Kings Arms. In the area, there are many well known gastro pubs - The Hardwick, The Walnut Tree, The Cripple Creek Inn, and The Foxhunter etc.
Abergavenny is easily accessible by car or by train. It is less than one hour's drive or an easy train ride to Bristol and Cardiff. It takes around three hours by train to reach Manchester or London.

Derrick is a very communicative and helpful host. Nothing is too much trouble. The breakfasts were great and the dogs quietly entertaining. Thanks Derrick.

Vivienne2017-08-28T00:00:00Z

A very warm welcome from Brenda and Derrick. A spacious, well presented and furnished room, with ensuite bathroom, all exceptionally clean. Views in two directions from the bedroom and bathroom windows. Centrally located, around 5 minutes walk to the centre of Abergavenny, this is an ideal venue for exploring the town and beyond. Will definitely book this accommodation again, thanks guys.

Melanie2016-06-24T00:00:00Z

Very spacious and very friendly and welcoming hosts. One thing to mention is the house rules (which I didn't read beforehand-sorry!), Derrick and Brenda prefer that guests be in before 11pm unless you notify them before your stay. We were at a friends wedding and so were going to be late back, Derrick was incredibly understanding of us being out late-thank you and sorry again! Very good selection for breakfast. Comfy bed.

Holly2016-10-23T00:00:00Z

Derrick and Brenda's family were lovely and welcoming hosts, great knowledge about the area and a fantastic selection of leaflets for things to do. Lovely living/breakfast room with plenty of choice for breakfast. Thanks Derrick and Brenda!

Becky2016-07-12T00:00:00Z

Excellent roomy property with very friendly and helpful host. Good breakfast provided. The family has two friendly but well behaved dogs. Walking distance to the town centre (15 min) for a wide selection of pubs an restaurants. Similar distance to the railway station.

Mark2017-06-01T00:00:00Z

Brenda and Derrick were fantastic hosts during our stay in Abergavenny and made us feel very welcome in their home. We also met the family and the dogs were delightful and enjoyed lots of attention. The room was lovely and quiet and has a good sized en-suite attached with bath and separate shower. Downstairs is a sitting/breakfast room for relaxing in and enjoying the cooked breakfast (with fried banana!) in the morning. Our hosts enjoyed a bit of banter with us and recommended some good walks and places to eat in Town. The centre of Abergavenny is about a 10-min walk from the accommodation, so within easy reach for restaurants, shops and attractions. This was a great experience and somewhere I would love to book and stay at again. Thank you for making our weekend a really enjoyable one!

Matthew2017-05-14T00:00:00Z

We had a lovely stay, very comfortable and spacious. We had our own sitting room which was really nice and could sit outside on the patio. We were made very welcome. Agerbervenny as really worth a visit.

Breakfast was a feast and Derrick catered for my need for a gluten free diet thoughtfully. An excellent place to stay if you are in Abergavenny.

Neil 2017-02-07T00:00:00Z

Nid was easy to communicate with and the house is a short walking distance to town. Unfortunately we were not so satisfied with how (not so) clean the place was, there was some trash on the living room table suggesting that the place was not thoroughly cleaned upon disparture of the last guests. Also the bathroom carpets, the chitchen and the fridge were not nearly as clean as expected (yes the rent is not expensive but nonetheless we paid a cleaning fee and this should include the removal of dead insects from the chitchen). Furthermore, it was very obvious that one has not hoovered under the beds for a long time, leaving very dusty and hairy blanckets under a bed. Apart from that the house is big and the location quiet. Beds were freshly made and comfortable.

Our house is within walking distance of Abergavenny train station and of the town . There are several excellent restaurants and bars within walking
distance . The house i s a listed Georgian townhouse with many original features. It has a lovely garden and views towards the mountains. Breakfast is included in the price. We are able to provide packed lunches for walkers/cyclists and transport if required. We can also provide a travel cot.

The Bedroom is very comfortable room with two windows looking out onto the mountains, Tea and coffee is provided in the room.

Abergavenny has the most beautiful countryside. We are surrounded by stunning mountains and there is a great variety of walking with the river on our doorstep and a canal running from Newport to Brecon. There are numerous castles to visit including Raglan and Chepstow.

I would totally recommend - Prue and her husband are great hosts. On top of that the location is good, close to the train station, and breakfast was great.

This is a great location next to the station, lovely view and the hosts were very hospitable in their lovely traditional home. The only negative, which is easily overcome by being prepared, is the room is a bit noisy because of the main road.

Well presented Semi-Detached with beautiful mountain views. Family and pet friendly. Short walk from the vineyard. The house, whilst it boasts a modern interior, feels very cosy. There are good views through the garden and into the mountains. A very friendly neighbourhood; the locals are lovely people. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers (particularly paragliders and hikers), business travellers, families (with kids), and furry friends (pets).

This is an easy living space. The rooms flow into each other and everything is in the right place.

You'll be staying in a quiet cul-de-sac not far from the town centre. Abergavenny and the surrounding area is known for its high quality and varied restaurant scene. We can recommend the Pizzorante if you like family friendly authentic Italian food. The Angel will provide you with fine dining and high tea during the daytime. The 16th century King's Arms often put on live music over the weekend and have a good selection of premium lagers and ales. There is a great butcher in Neil Powell's who source all their meats locally. If breakfasting out, then you will find plenty of decent places to start your day; Cwtch cafe and Nicholls both serve great eggs until 1130.

A nice house very close to the center, with all the details and very clean. You can feel that the owners think of everything you could need. We will repeat!

Priory Cottage is in the centre of the bustling market town of Abergavenny, it is in the perfect spot to enjoy art and culture, independent shops, the market hall, mountains, bars and restaurants, cinema, theatre, castle. You’ll love Priory Cottage because it is part of the Angel Hotel's accommodation offer (breakfast at the hotel is included in the price).

Open wooden staircase leads up to the first floor where there is a double/twin bedroom and bathroom with shower, toilet, sink and heated towel rail (White Company amenities). Another wooden staircase (very steep) leads up again to the second bedroom, located in the eaves.

Although close to town, you are secluded and private. You will enjoy the views from the house, as much as you will enjoy visiting the surrounding areas.

HOUSE IS CENTRAL TO LOCAL TOURISM
WALKERS: Walking up the road leading to the house will take you to the top of Deri Mountain from which you can walk to Sugar Loaf mountain. You can also access the same by waking to the end of the driveway and walking round the base of the mountain.
READERS: Hay-on-Wye book town (and festival) is 45 minute drive North
MUSIC: Brecon Jazz Festival 45 minutes away North West
SWIMMERS: The Mumbles beach is 1 hour away West
GOLFERS: Ryder Cup venue Celtic Manor is 30 minutes away South
HISTORIC: Tintern Abbey is 30 minutes away South East
CITIES: Cardiff and Bristol are both 1 hour away (both with airports)

While there was a lovely view, we were very disappointed at the cleanliness and condition of the property, inside and out. Be aware that the drive is very steep - taxis would not drive up it. However that area of Wales is marvellous - the countryside, the towns and the people.

Olinga was so helpful and positive when I struggled to book this booking. First time with Airbnb basically. He met us at his home and showed us around, when leaving he told us it was our home for the week. This relaxed us within somebody elses home. The house was well catered. Very warm and with an abundance of logs for the burner. Situated on Deri fell, the views were absolutely stunning. It did have a very steep drive. Abergavenny was 5 minutes away for shops and the railway station. Everything we needed. A great Christmas treat with my family. Thank you Olinga.

B&B guests have their own little sitting room, the bedroom is cosy and comfortable, the bathroom spacious and the breakfast delicious (especially the coffee). If the weather is good there is a tiny enclosed garden too. Nothing was too much trouble. I was even offered a lift to the station. What more could you ask?

Sue and Derek made us feel very welcome and we felt very at home in their lovely house. We were able to park outside the property and walk into town, which is a vibrant community and which we liked very much. The breakfasts were lovely and we very much enjoyed the interesting chats around the kitchen table. We had everything we needed for our stay and would definitely return.

Sue and her husband Derreck were lovely hosts of a very nice house. We enjoyed our time there, with friendly chats and advice on where to have dinner and to visit. And the breakfast was fantastic!

We had a lovely weekend. If you are around South Wales for any reasons do not hesitate to book this accommodation! Breakfast is so attentive. Will def stay again if I am around there again. But will not tell you much as otherwise will spoil your stay ;-)

We had a lovely time with Sue and Derek. They might us incredibly welcome from the word go. Derek gave us a lift to the restaurant we had booked outside Abergavenny, which was well beyond the call of duty and for which we were really grateful. They served us great breakfasts and added greatly to our enjoyment of the weekend.

We had a wonderful stay with Sue and Derek. They made us feel truly welcome in their lovely home. From a welcome tea upon our arrival to a scrumptious full breakfast with fresh-squeezed orange juice before our departure, they were consummate hosts. Everything was provided to make our stay easy and comfortable. Abergavenny is a special town, with beautiful town gardens, wide open meadows, and classic castle ruins to explore. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Bedrooms

The Old Barn is set in the Brecon Beacons National Park, halfway up Sugar Loaf Mountain, with stunning views, yet only 10 minutes’ drive to Abergavenny. Footpaths lead up Sugar Loaf and into the Black Mountains. We have converted the barn using Welsh slate, oak beams, and lime plaster. Insulation is sheep’s wool and heating is by an air-source heat pump and wood-burner. Inside the barn is a mix of antique and modern. We have also provided custom-made accommodation for bats and swallows!

The Old Barn stands on its own at the far end of the yard. It is a traditional Monmouthshire stone built agricultural building, with arrow-slit windows, and triangular owl holes – put there to encourage barn owls into the building and thus keep the rodents at bay. In our conversion, we have retained all these features, while adding modern comforts and conveniences.....and excluding the rodents!
Inside the barn is a stylish mix of old and new, with contemporary furniture and lighting alongside traditional oak beams and antiques. The kitchen is superbly equipped, reflecting our own love of good food and cooking – a homemade cake and eggs from our free range hens and ducks are part of the package, and home-reared organic lamb is available. In the living room a woodburner gives a cosy feel on chillier days, and there is wifi, a radio, a CD player and CDs, a DVD player with discs, a selection of board games and loads of books. The utility room houses the washing machine and provides plenty of space for keeping all your outdoor gear. Upstairs is reached by a reclaimed cast iron spiral staircase, and folding oak patio doors lead out from the living room to seating areas to the north and south.
All three bedrooms are spacious and comfortable. Upstairs the bright, sunny West Bedroom has a kingsize bed, and the cosy East Bedroom has two 3'6" singles. They share a family bathroom. The Bat Room, with ensuite wetroom, is on ground level and has its own entrance off the courtyard. Towels and linen are included, all 100% cotton (cot available on request). Each bedroom also boasts its own Sugar Loaf view.
At the front of the barn there is a sunny courtyard with pots of herbs, fruit and flowers, the perfect spot for an al fresco breakfast looking across the valley to the oak woodlands on the Deri opposite. A barbecue is provided, and an old byre houses table tennis and table football. At the back the patio looks across the fields and up the valley to Sugar Loaf. Long summer evenings can be whiled away watching the light gradually fade from the mountain and the stars prick through the darkness of the night sky.
There are three houses on the smallholding: the sixteenth century farmhouse where we live, The Old Barn, and the "new" farmhouse, The White House, also available for holidays. Each property is entirely private, and they do not overlook each other. However, larger groups (up to 12) may like to book The Old Barn and The White House together.

Porth-y-Parc (meaning Gateway to the Park) is a 35 acre smallholding. We are at the entrance to a medieval deer park once owned by the monks of St Mary’s Priory. Our Black Welsh Mountain sheep thrive here in their natural habitat - they graze away happily however wild and wacky the weather - even lambing in the snow if needs be! Spring guests often help with bottle feeding any orphan lambs. As well as the sheep, we keep a few hens and ducks for eggs – always a big hit with our holiday guests. We are dedicated to creating a habitat that is home to a wide diversity of wildlife, and we are now in-conversion to organic status - an exciting next step for Porth-y-Parc. Our guests are welcome to wander freely through the fields and woodland.
The Great Outdoors
Many of our visitors come here for the walking. The main footpath through the farm leads straight up to the summit of Sugar Loaf – a walk of about an hour. Paths branch off from this in all directions, and it is possible to explore the mountain and its foothills and valleys from a different perspective every day. There are OS maps provided for guests’ use, and we can suggest local walks – of any length to suit your energy levels – and pubs that might provide a welcome break and good food along your way! Being so close to the town it is easy to pick up all the main routes westwards into the Brecon Beacons, and north and east into the further reaches of the Black Mountains. Other outdoor activities available locally include cycling, horse riding, climbing, and para-gliding. The Usk, Wye and Monnow rivers offer some fantastic spots for wild swimming fans – we can share some of our favourites with you. And if you’re lucky enough to coincide with winter snow, bring your sledge; you won’t even need to leave the farm to get some fast and furious runs!
The Brecon Beacons National Park has recently become an International Dark Sky Reserve, with Sugar Loaf Mountain listed in its top 10 stargazing sites. If you don’t fancy the hike up the hill in the dark, the barn patio is a pretty amazing viewing spot too!
Abergavenny
Abergavenny is a compact and pretty little town on the River Usk, overlooked by its three mountains – Sugar Loaf, The Blorenge and Skirrid. It bustles with life, especially on market days and offers quirky independent shops alongside 21st century essentials such as Waitrose, Waterstones and Caffe Nero!
Abergavenny is a foodie heaven, with great local produce in shops and the market, and excellent restaurants in town and a few minutes’ drive away. The Food Market is open on Tuesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and there is a Farmers’ Market on the fourth Thursday of every month. This focus on food explodes in September when the town holds its annual Food Festival, and again for the Christmas Food Fair at the beginning of December.
Abergavenny also has a cinema with two screens, a small theatre and a swimming pool and leisure centre.
Hay-on-Wye is a beautiful little town, famous for its second-hand bookshops. The drive to Hay through the Vale of Ewyas and over Gospel Pass is a must! Or visit at May half term, when Hay International Literary Festival is in full swing.
If Abergavenny doesn’t quite have the city buzz you want, Cardiff is easily reached in under an hour by car or train from Abergavenny Station. Visit the Castle, the Millennium Stadium and the Victorian shopping arcades in the old city, then take a boat down the Taff to Cardiff Bay, home of the Welsh Assembly Government, the Millennium Centre and Doctor Who!

This really is just the most idilic pace you could image. It showcases the very best of the Welsh countryside, in a beautiful converted barn with the very best of amenities.

Lovely place, amazing views and great welcoming touches from Roz, like eggs and milk from the farm and cake and wine :-) Great if you want some time away from the hustle and bustle. Thank you!

Ellie2016-11-17T00:00:00Z

Don't think twice, this is the place to get away from it all and enjoy what nature has to offer, rain or shine. The Barn is in a great position, right beside the path to Sugar Loaf Mountain. Enjoy great views out to the fields and mountains. All the trimmings are provided to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable. We made use of our base to hike the public footpaths, go into town stock up at the butchers and markets and then go back to the barn and cook up some amazing dinners (great array of kitchen tools provided) with the music on and while that's cooking maybe read a book and stare out of the windows out into the lovely countryside for a bit. A couple of nights we got out the scrabble board provided and played a game or two by the fire and a glass of wine. Perfect, we will be back.

Jane2017-03-06T00:00:00Z

Don't hesitate in the slightest to book a stay at The Old Barn. The views are amazing, Roz and Pip are delightful hosts (we arrived to a bottle of wine, homemade cake, fresh chicken and duck eggs,and as many lamb chops as we wanted from their freezer). The barn itself is amazing, warm and cozy, environmentally friendly. One of the best Airbnb experiences we have ever had, worth every penny.

Jodee2017-07-13T00:00:00Z

The photos don't do this home justice. It is so welcoming, so tranquil, so perfectly placed in the countryside... a genuine home away from home in a stunning environment. Could not recommend it higher.
